“Very important reading for someone who wishes to make sense of the complex . . . world of up to date art photography.” ―Picture Professional

In the 21st century photography has come of age as a up to date art form. Nearly two centuries after photographic technology was once first invented, the art world has fully embraced it as a legitimate medium, equal in status to painting and sculpture. This book provides an introduction to up to date art-photography, identifying its most important features and themes and celebrating its exciting pluralism through an overview of its most important and innovative practitioners. The work of nearly 250 photographers is reproduced, from established artists such as Isa Genzken, Jeff Wall, Sophie Calle, Thomas Demand, Nan Goldin, and Sherrie Levine to emerging talents such Walead Beshty, Jason Evans, Lucas Blalock, Sara VanDerBeek, and Viviane Sassen.

This new edition brings the story of up to date art photography up-to-the-minute with a revised introduction outlining the evolution of photography from documentary tool to art form, and an up to date final chapter that specialize in the more youthful generation of artists who emphasize the technical and material properties of photography, employ it as a part of a much wider pan-media practice, or respond to evolving new modes of dissemination in the digital age.
